Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英譯漢) (60 points)
Parents are required by law to see that their children receive full-time education, at school or elsewhere, between the ages of 5 and 16 in England, Scotland and Wales and 4 and 16 in Northern Ireland. About 93 percent of pupils receive free education from public funds, while the others attend independent schools financed by fees paid by parents.
Many, aged 3—4 years, children attend nursery schools and classes (or, in England, reception classes in primary schools).Pre-school education may also be provided in some private day nurseries and pre-school playgroups (which are largely organized by parents).
The Government has stated its commitment to a major expansion of pre-school education and wants all children to begin school with a basic foundation in literacy and numeracy. From September 1998 it is providing free nursery education in England and Wales for all 4 year olds whose parents want it, and is committed to staged targets for provision for 3 year olds thereafter. Local education authorities, in partnership with private and voluntary providers, have drawn up“early years development plans” for securing these objectives. The plans are designed to show how co-operation between private nurseries, playgroups and schools can best serve the interests of children and their parents. From April 1999, early years development partnerships and plans will be expanded to deliver quality childcare integrated with early education. In addition, the Government is working with local authorities and others in England to establish “early excellence centers” designed to demonstrate good practice in education and childcare.
In Scotland, local education authorities have been taking the leading role, from August 1998, in planning and coordinating pre-school education and in providing places, working in partnership with voluntary and private providers. The Government planned to give all children in the pre-school year access to quality, part-time education by the winter of 1998.
Northern Ireland has a lower compulsory school age of 4 and a single school entry date in September each year. A pre-school education expansion programme, undertaken through partnership between the education and library boards, other statutory providers and the private and voluntary sectors, has provided additional pre-school places.

Section 1 英譯漢 (60分)
按照法律規(guī)定，在英格蘭、蘇格蘭和威爾士，家長一定要使自己的孩子在5歲至16歲期間在學(xué)�；蚱渌胤浇邮苋罩平逃�，在北愛爾蘭則為4歲至16歲。大約93%的學(xué)生享受公家提供經(jīng)費的免費教育，其他學(xué)生上獨立學(xué)校，這種學(xué)�？繉W(xué)生家長繳費來籌措經(jīng)費。
許多三、四歲的孩子上幼兒園和幼兒班(在英格蘭還有小學(xué)校里的小班)。某些民辦的日托幼兒園和學(xué)前游戲小組(大都是家長組織的)也提供學(xué)前教育。
政府已作出承諾，要大力發(fā)展學(xué)前教育，使所有的兒童在開始上學(xué)的時候在識字和識數(shù)方面都有一點基礎(chǔ)。在英格蘭和威爾士，政府從1998年9月開始為所有4歲的孩子提供免費幼兒教育，如果他們的父母需要的話。政府還承諾，隨后要分階段實現(xiàn)為三歲的孩子提供免費幼兒教育的目標(biāo)。為達到這些目標(biāo)，地方教育當(dāng)局與民間志愿辦學(xué)者合作，已制定出“早期教育發(fā)展計劃”。制訂這類計劃意在表明民辦幼兒園、游戲小組和學(xué)校可以怎樣通過合作來最好地為孩子和家長服務(wù)。從1999年4月起，早期教育發(fā)展組織和發(fā)展計劃將擴大范圍，以提供與早期教育相結(jié)合的優(yōu)良的兒童保健。此外，政府還在英格蘭與地方當(dāng)局以及其它部門合作建立“優(yōu)秀早期教育中心”，以展示教育與兒童保健方面的好的做法。
在蘇格蘭，地方教育當(dāng)局一直領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這方面的工作。1998年8月以來，他們與民間志愿辦學(xué)者合作，進行規(guī)劃，協(xié)調(diào)學(xué)前教育，提供更多名額。政府計劃在1998年冬季前使所有的兒童在上學(xué)前一年享受到良好的非全日制教育。
北愛爾蘭義務(wù)教育入學(xué)年齡較低，為4歲，每年9月學(xué)生按統(tǒng)一日期入學(xué)。一項由教育局與圖書館管理局、其它法定辦學(xué)單位和民間志愿辦學(xué)者聯(lián)合執(zhí)行的學(xué)前教育發(fā)展計劃已經(jīng)增加了學(xué)前教育學(xué)生的名額。
